Flaky, light, and buttery rotis that are ideal for serving with any curry.

The curry may be the main attraction, but ask anyone who enjoys a proper Cape Malay meal, and they'll tell you the roti matters just as much.

A good one should be soft enough to tear by hand, sturdy enough to scoop up rich curry and layered enough to pull apart with every bite.

If you've been wanting to make your own, this Cape Malay flaky roti recipe is a great place to start.

Using just a handful of pantry ingredients, it produces light, buttery rotis that are ideal for serving with chicken, mutton, lamb or vegetable curry.
